DIMENSION FILMS ACQUIRES THE RIGHTS TO DEVELOP 'THE BOATHOUSE'
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (October 20, 2006)
Dimension Films announced today that they have acquired the rights to develop "The Boathouse," a supernatural thriller pitch being written by David Loucka.

In The Boathouse, a man who falls into a torrid affair with a mysterious young woman, slowly discovers that several of the woman's past lovers were murdered under suspicious circumstances, and that the sexy female might carry with her a dark disturbing curse...
Ehren Kruger stated, "'The Boathouse' is a standout horror story -- a scary film that explores sexual seduction in a way that the genre rarely braves to. The project brims with the kind of rich characters and mystical romantic appeal which distinguish Iain Softley's work. We're all excited to be making yet another Dimension film which redefines where today's scary movies are headed."
Richard Saperstein, president of production, and Matthew Stein, senior vice president of production will oversee the project for Dimension Films.
